/ "While language plays a crucial role in how we think about gender and sexual identity, foreign language classes generally remain remarkably silent or extremely obtuse when it comes to raising awareness among learners and teachers of languages to the language of sexual and gender diversity.
This presentation, part of my ongoing research into queer theory and queer pedagogy, aims to design ways to apply these theoretical frameworks to pedagogical practices that recognize queer visibility in the classroom. The purpose of this presentation is to examine strategies to improve the inclusion, recognition and visibility of sexual minorities and transgender people in foreign language classes./"
